Non-Repatative RX480 Question

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

1. I am going to pre-order and am not going to wait for benchmarks because if I don't like the 480 I can just return it. So please don't say to wait for benchmarks.

 

2. Should I get 4GB or 8GB? I am only on 1080p 60Hz but possibly can be going to 1440p within the next 1-3 years

 

3. Is there no coolers besides the stock one? I mean srsly...

At launch, there are almost always reference coolers only. Also, I'd recommend getting the 8GB just for the sake of it.

1) ok

 

2) 8GB because its worth the extra $30

 

3) no there are not

if you want something aftermarket then you've gotta wait

1) You do you.

 

2) 8GB more 'future-safing' and why not

 

3) 

at 2:35 you can see a similar cooler to the AMD one but with back-plate etc.

I would get 8GB, not because you need it, but because devs are going to stop caring. Look what happened with the new consoles and their garbage CPUs. No one compresses audio anymore, so game file sizes have exploded.
